Re: Official Hardtop Thread
if anyone wants a cheap frp mugen style hardtop, chaseraero on s2ki is holding a great group buy deal. just deposit 150 and hold in the price of 1150 shipped with all hardware :D i've ordered two (one for my bro's s) and it's a pretty epic group buy list. several customer's have already posted pics up of their fitment and it looks great. iirc chaser aero said they have taken over c-wings and they produce the tops themselves and used a genuine mugen top to create the mold for a perfect fitment

btw, i am in no way affiliated with chaser aero, i just thought it was a great deal which i why i bought two myself and this is a hardtop thread so i thought i'd throw it out there...

that's a mugen replica, and it doesn't say if it comes with hardware and how much shipping is. when you add those prices, i'd say about 800 for it, then it'll be 2100.

but for the OEM i'm not counting shopping price as well its direct comparison... so shipping + tax + assemble by job (this one varies i guess)

Re: Official Hardtop Thread
Question: Any hardtops out there that are cheap/knockoffs that we would want to stay away from?
Cheap ones that leak or fit like crap etc...

Re: Official Hardtop Thread
it seems that the fitment goes something like this:
On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best.
10 - OEM
9.5 - Mugen
9.5 - Seibon (80% of users say it fits perfectly, the remaining 20% have had minor issues)
9.5 - Amuse
7 - the rest (chaseraero, vis, cwest, giqii or whatever, etc)
my recommendation...if you want the Mugen style, go with Mugen or Seibon. Go with mugen if you're like women who have to have the brand name, Seibon if you want the lighter, more cost effective top.

Re: Official Hardtop Thread
I see that the prices are listed on the first page. Maybe everyone that wants to share how much they paid for HTs.
What kind and from where we may figure out better places to go and buy etc...

I don't have many good pics of my car. Just got a DSLR recently, so there should be more soon.

Re: Official Hardtop Thread
Amuse top looks to be the slickest looking IMHO followed by OEM, Mugen and the Moon craft fastback.
Admittedly, I have never seen thier hardtops but Seibon is all knock off wet lay up and sketchty fitment stuff. Those two philips head screws in the first couple posts that aren't properly counter-sunk in and sticking out make me cringe.
Anyone ever buff the OEM hard top down to bare aluminum and polish it?

Re: Official Hardtop Thread
OEM just looks like it goes there period... CLEAN look
Amuse Best of ALL WORLDS... crazy expensive
Mugen & replicas don't look bad either though
Moon craft fastback Spoon.... NO

Re: Official Hardtop Thread
I'm not sure if this has been asked already, but does the installation of the hard top involve removing the soft top completley. Completely meaning, if you go with the hard top the rag top would no longer be there. I ask this because I want an s2k and the hard top option increases my desire to own one, but a situation where I would have to park my car somewhere with top down for however long just doensnt sit well with me.
